What do I think of it?

I bought this plane from an experienced IMAC pilot. He is the one assembled the plane and made all the trick modifications. He also put the WAY overpowered engine in. As it turns out, the engine is just about right. This plane is not exactly light, and the big engine is required to give unlimited vertical, and at this altitude (Salt Lake City, Utah) the vertical is just shy of unlimited. It has been a learning experience for me to get this baby back on the ground, but three props later, I think I am getting it. As far as flight performance, it flies like a pattern plane ought to. Point it in any direction, and that is the way it goes. Snaps are lightning fast, maybe a little too fast.
